Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Prince Xian Ma
Hearing these words, a smile appeared on Chao Buzhi's face, because he had just heard Chao Cuo's attitude towards Emperor Jing's attitude towards Zhang Shizhi, and this time Tao Qing was destined to return in vain.
Chao Buzhi said again: "How is the music you are going to write? ”
Zhao Sheyan smiled and said: "It may be a little inferior to your majestic "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" of Chao Gong, after all, Zhao has never touched a pen." ”
"Haha, Mr. Zhao is too worried, after all, he is impeaching his own people, as long as he can use it." Chao Buzhi said with a smile.
Zhao Shi was also happy when he heard this, and then said: "Then Zhao sent someone to send this letter to Zhidu's mansion?" ”
Chao Buzhi pondered for a while and said, "It can be, but I have a better way." ”
"Oh? What's the solution? Zhao Shiqi said.
"Although Zhidu is a strict person, most of the time he follows the Han law, and his mind is more meticulous."
"From the last time Mr. and Wang Sheng went to meet Zhidu, Zhidu didn't even get off the carriage, you can see this person's position, he only has His Majesty in his eyes, and other people are rude Whether it is the prime minister or the imperial doctor is not in his eyes, according to the example, he is recommended by the prime minister, and he should thank the prime minister, but have you seen him go to the prime minister's mansion once?"
Zhao Shi suddenly understood when he heard this: "So if this impeachment of Doctor Chao reaches the hands of Zhidu, Zhidu will definitely report it to His Majesty, but not in the court, but in private, in this way, Zhidu can be attacked, retreated and defended, and His Majesty will take whoever he says." ”
"Yes, if the chapter is only given to Zhidu, it will be a meat bun beating a dog - there is no return." Chao Buzhi nodded and said: "So we also need to find someone with integrity and likes to give direct advice, such a talent is the fundamental reason for the success of our plan." ”
"But it's hard to find such a person!" Zhao Shi frowned and said.
"It's hard to find, but there's one person who's a good fit." Chao Buzhi said with a smile.
Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment and then said: "Yuan Ang is indeed the most suitable person, but if he is implicated, His Majesty will only regard this as Yuan An's personal struggle with Doctor Chao, and will not be linked to Prime Minister Tao Cheng, not to mention that Yuan Ang at this time does not have the right to write a book to discuss matters at all." ”
Chao Buzhi said: "Chao is not talking about Yuan An, but another person. ”
Zhao Shi said suspiciously: "Can there be such a person in the court?" Who is it? ”
Chao Buzhi smiled and said, "This person is the crown prince Xian Ma Jidian. ”
"Prince Xian Ma? Jidi? Is he up to the task? Zhao Shi shook his head and said that he had not heard of it.
Chao Buzhi smiled when he heard this: "He will definitely be able to do it." ”
Seeing that Chao Buzhi was full of confidence, although Zhao Shi was a little relieved, he still had some doubts and didn't understand where Chao Buzhi's confidence came from.
Although Emperor Jing did not have a prince at this time, there was Xian Ma, and that person was the famous Ji Di in later generations.
Seeing Zhao She's puzzlement and suspicion, it is not surprising that Chao Buzhi made up for it, after all, the opportunity for Ji Huang to become famous was when Emperor Wu was in the time of Emperor Wu, in other words, Ji Huang at the time of Emperor Wu had some big supporting roles, and at this time he was only because of the seven generations of his family, and all generations were honored in the court as a secretary and doctor, and then relied on his father's protection to be able to "wash horses".
To put it bluntly, he is a guy who walks through the back door and seals in the shadow, so his reputation is not obvious.
Fame is not obvious, does not mean that the character will change, some people even if his official position is not high, but the upright character, as well as the courage to be fearless in the court will not change because of the official position, otherwise the history of the dynasties will not appear so many admirable, singing and crying existence.
········
At this time, Tao Qing, the prime minister's mansion, was dealing with busy official business, and it was not easy to be the prime minister of a country, especially the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty who had great authority during this period.
Although Tao Qing doesn't have to do everything, he still needs to understand some things, big and small.
Maybe Emperor Jing, Chao Cuo, Zhang Shizhi and others all feel that Tao Qing, the prime minister, has no achievements, and is even quite incompetent, but they still admire Tao Qing's dedication very much.
Of course, the ability is not enough, and the physical strength is to make up, this naughty sentence is not suitable for Tao Qing.
After all, in terms of governing the country, Tao Qing adheres to the concept of governing the country of Huang Lao in the Western Han Dynasty, so he is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager Dou, which is also the reason why he can worship the prime minister.
And Tao Qing's own means are also quite powerful, you can ask the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, including the princes, Chao mistakenly holds the power of supervision, it can be said that life and death are taken, but they are not afraid.
But who dares not to be afraid of this prime minister who doesn't talk much, but is very dark and ruthless?
These are the two reasons why Tao Qing can sit firmly in the phase.
At this time, Tao Qing looked at the piece about the spring famine in Guanzhong, after all, Guanzhong suffered a famine, which is a big deal, especially for the Western Han Dynasty, which was very unpeaceful at this time.
Although the news came from the supervision of the imperial history a few days ago, and Emperor Jing also ordered the imperial court to do all the means of disaster relief, there was no detailed report coming, and the imperial court could not take effective action.
Now the detailed report is coming, Tao Qing is indeed very bored, because this spring famine came very suddenly and strangely, to say that the Western Han Dynasty after nearly half a century of recuperation, hiding wealth from the people, it can be said that the life of the common people should be very rich, which should be much stronger than some so-called holy ancestors, Shiquan and other dynasties.
Guanzhong south leans on the Qinling Mountains, the Wei River passes through it, the material is rich and the treasure is good, and the people are outstanding.
There are natural terrain barriers on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, from the Warring States period there is a saying of "the country of four stops", so Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty used "Jincheng Qianli" to summarize the advantages of Guanzhong to persuade Liu Bangding to make the capital of Guanzhong.
Therefore, there is a grand scene in Guanzhong today, as well as the prosperity and wealth of Chang'an City.
But isn't it weird that a spring famine broke out in Guanzhong?
Those who have read history books, or who have studied history, know that the famous "rule of Wenjing" in the Western Han Dynasty, because of this very famous, laid a solid foundation for Emperor Wu's counterattack and defeat in the future.
And according to the record of "Hanshu Food and Goods", "In the first 70 years of Emperor Wu, the country was fine, and unless there was a flood or drought, the people gave enough to the family." The capital is full, and the treasury is surplus; The money of the capital division is hundreds of thousands, and it is decaying and cannot be studied; Taicang's millet Chen Chen is full of dew and accumulates outside, and it is inedible and rotten. There are horses in the streets and alleys, and there are groups among them, and those who ride through the horses (mares) are not allowed to gather. ”
It probably means that during the seventy years from the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty to the accession of Emperor Wu, due to domestic political stability, as long as there were no floods and droughts, the people always gave their families enough, and the warehouses of the county were full of grain. The grain in Taicang is rotten and inedible due to Chen Chenxiang, the government's treasury has surplus wealth, and the money of Jingshi is tens of millions, and even the string of money has been broken.
This is a very vivid description of the rule of Wenjing.
Therefore, Tao Qing has a number in his heart for surviving this spring famine, because the family background of the Western Han Dynasty is only one word, thick, too thick.
